in a number of countries,some people think it is necessary to spend large sums of money on constructing new railway lines for very fast trains between cities.Other believe the money should be spent on improving existing public transport.
Public transports were always one of the hottest subjects of debates.
People
are divided in their opinion regarding whether to invest a huge amount of Use synonyms
money
on fast railway Use synonyms
lines
to connect Use synonyms
cities
, or to spend Use synonyms
this
Linking Words
money
on ameliorating the existing public Use synonyms
transport
. I do believe that Use synonyms
money
should be invested in the intracity public Use synonyms
transport
in lieu of intercities novel high-speed railway construction.
According to Use synonyms
people
who advocate for building new fast-paced railways Use synonyms
lines
to connect Use synonyms
cities
, so many Use synonyms
people
work and live in different Use synonyms
cities
and have to spend long hours of commute to and from work. By building a fast Use synonyms
train
, we can make their life easier. On top of that, they are aiming for a new system Use synonyms
that is
flowless with better an up to date technology claiming that the old railways are usually not well maintained and can stop working anytime. Linking Words
As a result
, it is necessary to invest Linking Words
this
Linking Words
money
to improve cross Use synonyms
cities
Use synonyms
transport
.
Use synonyms
However
, it is very expensive to start building new fast Linking Words
train
Use synonyms
lines
. Use synonyms
For instance
, has been estimated that over 5 billion dollars are needed to build new fast Linking Words
lines
to connect North to South BC. Use synonyms
This
Linking Words
money
can be spent on other parts like health care, social services, and to buy new buses. Use synonyms
Besides
, it takes years to build new Linking Words
lines
due to unforeseen problems. Sometimes the problem can not be fixed and the project has to stop. For ,instance the project for a new fast Use synonyms
train
connecting Banff to Kamloops was stopped due to a big hole between two parts and experts could not find a solution on how to fix the problem. Use synonyms
Therefore
, big projects like building new inter-city connecting Linking Words
lines
are time and Use synonyms
money
consuming and it is better to invest in what is already in place and improve it.
As for me, I do believe that the number of Use synonyms
people
using in-city Use synonyms
transport
exceeds the number of those who travel in between Use synonyms
cities
. Use synonyms
Consequently
, it makes more sense to invest in our current public Linking Words
transport
rather than starting a new project. It can be seen that, after years of using old buses, skytrains and seabus in Vancouver Use synonyms
for example
, we can easily replace them with the new ones. In fact, Linking Words
this
minor change can happen quickly and help thousands of commuters. Linking Words
Thus
, fixing public Linking Words
transport
can help more Use synonyms
people
and is faster to implement it.
To conclude, while some might disagree with me and believe that putting Use synonyms
money
into a new fast lane Use synonyms
train
that connects Use synonyms
cities
would be of greater importance than spending Use synonyms
money
to improve public Use synonyms
transport
, I strongly believe the opposite is more practical, cheaper, and will help more commuters.Use synonyms
